ralising in wild gardens, grass land, See per 1000, 65/-; per 100, 7/6 1 3 , 
PARROT, or DRAGON TULIPS, with Laciniated Petals (May-flowering). 
These Parrot, or Dragon Tulips, have large characteristic blossoms with curiously laciniated 
petals, and richly varied shades of beautiful colours in the same flower. They are very remarkable and 
exceedingly showy and effective in flower borders, while if grown in hanging baskets the drooping flowers 
look like orchids. In height they average about 15 inches. 
The following are all selected extra Strong bulbs, superior to what are usually sold, and may 
reasonably be expected to bloom , but as there is an unaccountable uncertainty in the flowering of Parrot 
Tulips , when used for filling beds plant closer together than in the case of other tulips , say 2 to 3 inches apart. 
12 bulbs each of the 6 Parrot Tulips described below, 10s. 6d. ; 6 each, 5s. 6d.

and green per 100, 12/6 1 
Crimson Beauty, rich deep blood-crim- 
son, with blackish markings, flowers of 
immense size and very handsome ; this 
variety should be largely used in beds, bor- 
ders, and baskets, as nearly every bulb 
flowers freely and produces a most bril- 
liant effect. ( See Illustration , page 40.)

BARR’S GRAND DARWIN TULIPS (May-flowering). 
As grown at their Long Ditton Nurseries and exhibited at the London May Flower Shows, where their 
grand stately flowers elicit the admiration of all. (See Illustration, page 40. ) 
For flower beds and borders we confidently recommend the following Darwin Tulips for their 
stately bearing and rich colours. They have been specially selected as being distinct, showy, and beautiful, 
so that buyers need have no hesitation in choosing the colours they require as they are all good. The cut 
flowers form an elegant decoration for vases, and last a long time in water. 
We have given the heights in inches, as registered at our Nurseries this last Spring.
